Duke Critiques Tinubu's Economic Policies Impacting Nigerians

Donald Duke, the former Governor of Cross River State and presidential candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), has publicly criticized the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu's administration. In a statement made on Saturday, Duke accused the government of exacerbating hardship and impoverishing Nigerians while benefiting financially from its policies.

He argued that the current economic direction has failed to provide meaningful relief and that the country cannot afford to uphold policies that deepen poverty. Duke specifically condemned the government's management of the fuel subsidy, stating that it merely replaced a problematic system with another that harms citizens and the economy.

He emphasized the need for Nigeria to adopt well-informed and strategically designed economic policies that promote growth and alleviate poverty. Duke pledged that if elected, the PRP would focus on better-informed policies and the livelihoods of Nigerians, advocating for effective resource management to foster sustainable economic growth.
